S12:E1 - What is vanilla JS and how can it help you (Chris Ferdinandi)
In terms of JavaScript, being vanilla isn't necessarily a bad thing.
In this episode, we talk about about vanilla JavaScript with Chris Ferdinandi, author of the Vanilla JS Pocket Guide series, and creator of the Vanilla JS Academy training program. Chris talks about how he went from HR professional to JavaScript expert, the pros of getting rid of all that tooling and learning good old fashion vanilla JS, and why this is relevant, not only from a personal perspective, but from a public safety perspective as well.
